I have a 13" TV in my sewing room and it comes in handy. I got a kindle for Christmas from my hubby and ended up returning it. It was to small and just didn't give me the same satisfaction as a "real" book. The TV is great for when I am doing a lot of pinning, like when I make the "princess Pillowcase dresses" or even pin basting quilt componets etc. I am of the generation that still worships the TV. We got our first one when I was 12 years old.
